Carmelisse Photography 

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $6,550

Hi I'm Carmelisse. I'm an intimate wedding & elopement photographer based in Los Angeles. I have a gift for making people comfortable and seeing the beauty in all diverse people. I want nothing more than to tell your love story right.

Awarded Best of Zola
PSA: Attention all future lovers, hire Carmelisse to capture your best day ever! I have been a huge fan of Carmelisse for years and have followed her in hopes and dreams to have her as our photographer for our wedding, which *fast forward* came true! To showcase her sweet demeanor, she sent us a survey to get to know us as partners and understand our vision. For our engagement shoot, she made us feel comfortable as she played music, helped us pose, and prompted us to flirt with one another to get a great shot. At the end of the night, as it was reaching golden hour in the mountains, Carmelisse brought us a bottle of champagne to toast to our love and photographed us slow dancing as the sun was setting, a core memory that we will never forget. Carmelisse exemplifies herself as an unofficial bridesmaid and I can attest to that! Personally, I did not have a wedding planner since the venue came with a day of coordinator. Leading up to the big day, I confided to Carmelisse about the order of events and details. Similar to the engagement shoot survey, she was intentional and sent us another survey to understand our wants for the wedding day. Until this day, my husband and I credit Carmelisse and her teammate, John, for keeping our timeline in order because without their professionalism we would’ve been lost. Throughout the day, Carmelisse and John kept us calm and collected with all the emotions of the day. In addition, Carmelisse handled our photo booth, which was excellent quality and our family loved the fact they could do gifs and save the photos directly on their phones. All in all, they were our hype people, our comfort, and helped us live in the moment and enjoy the best day. Carmelisse is our number-one recommendation for any occasion! She is literally an angel and a true artist in her craft. Thank you so much, Carmelisse! I will keep on preaching your brand until the end of time.

Mirage and Light Photography 

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $3,600

Photography is my creative dream come true and it is so incredibly special to be able to capture memories that other people will love and cherish for many, many years. Around high school, I found out for myself how important these memories were. Not just the ones I was creating currently but the ones that I couldn’t get back. I would look back on these photos and think, "I remember how happy I was that day." "Aww, my little brother was so tiny then!" Or even, "What was I thinking when I wore that outfit??" These little snippets of time carried such a significance for me that I wanted other people to feel that way about their memories, too.

Amanda has brought my vision to life and captured timeless memories of our wedding. What sets her apart from other photographers is her unique style and professionalism. Our photos have even been selected by Southern California bride! Besides the beautiful photography, she made us feel very special by surprising us with little Polaroid pics during the wedding, a very cool retro photo viewer, personalized box with the photo flash drive and lots of other unique gifts, which felt very special and thoughtful.

Based out of Los Angeles, CA, With Julia is an expert wedding planning business that covers events across California and destination locations as well. Julia founded her planning business based on two passions: her love of creativity and her love of human connection.

Awarded Best of Zola
First and foremost, planning with Julia is super fun. We never expected to have such an authentic relationship with her. Julia is always genuinely curious about how we are and trying to get to know us as individuals. Because of her drive to understand us as humans, she quickly understood our vision and helped us articulate it. She was so patient to help educate us on all things weddings. She knew that food and having a good time were central to our wedding. So she advised us on how to make that come true and where to save for things that we cared less about. She was always super responsive, professional and willing to help. We could tell that this wasn't just a job to her. We were so grateful that she was just as invested in the process as we are. She helped us source amazing vendors that matched our personalities. She also handled all the correspondence so we don't have to worry about it. That saved us a lot of stress. Around the wedding weekend, her and her assistant worked hard to deliver the aesthetics and schedule of events perfectly. The wedding prettier than we could've ever imagined. Thank you Julia for being our thought partner throughout this process. We couldn't have done it without you!

Sarahi Photo 

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,200

My name is Sarahi. Born and raised in Los Angeles, CA. Since a child, I loved photographing with old polaroids and disposable cameras.. My family used to complain about the 100's of pictures I captured and how many rolls of film I used. Now, I look back at pictures from 10+ years ago, and see the beauty of "stopping time" in photos and keeping them forever. I see how it brings happiness to the people around me and myself. Nothing makes me happier than people looking back at precious memories. I can't wait to extend this experience to you and create an everlasting memory that you can carry for years to follow.

Awarded Best of Zola
I recently had the privilege of participating in a portrait session with Sarahi, and the entire experience was outstanding. From the outset, her professionalism and warm demeanor established a relaxed atmosphere for both myself and my fiance. Sarahi invested time in comprehending our vision and offered valuable guidance to elevate the overall outcome. The communication with Sarahi flowed effortlessly, and she adhered to deadlines with precision, further solidifying the positive overall experience. I wholeheartedly endorse SarahiPhoto for anyone in search of a portrait session that seamlessly blends expert craftsmanship with a considerate and cooperative approach. She will be an excellent addition to your big day!

Kristina Lee Photography 

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Editorial style
  • Starts at $3,700

Born in the desert (AZ Baby!) and relocated to the sea. I firmly believe that a good day starts with a cup of coffee and ends with glass of red wine. I own more jewelry than I do clothes and in my opinion, too much gold does not exist. My biggest passion will always be photography. I’ve had a camera in my hands since I was a little girl – I would even set up “stylized shoots” in my family’s living room that consisted of sheets pinned to the wall, my friends and fake flowers (embarrassing, but I’m not kidding!). I strive for those editorial, Vogue-like shots, but I really live for those private, in-between moments.

Awarded Best of Zola
After being engaged for 2 years without any real wedding plans confirmed, my fiancé and I finally found a venue and set a date, 2 months out. With a short window to find vendors, the photographer was going to be the most critical. I was using Zola for general wedding inspo & invitations, so I did a quick search for photographers and came across Kristina Lee Photography. I didn’t have much time to contemplate, I had to make decisions quickly. I reached out to Kristina and scheduled a call with her the very next day. My first question was to make sure she was available on our wedding date…she was. We got to talking and she was extremely personable and easy to talk through the details of our wedding. It was a bonus that she had shot at our venue previously and she knew all the great spots for amazing photos. On the day of our wedding, Kristina fit right into my bridal party. We chatted all things Scandoval, while taking amazing pictures of our entire bridal party including our furbaby, Carlos. My fiancé and I never took engagement photos, so we didn’t really know what to expect when taking our post ceremony photos. Kristina directed us and knew exactly how to capture the most amazing moments of our day. She made us feel comfortable, sexy and so in love. All of our photos came out amazing! She sent us a few photos in a couple days and we were able to download the entire collection within 8 weeks. I am so happy that we had the opportunity to work with Kristina. She was professional, shot amazing photos and we had fun working with her! Thank you Kristina for capturing the best moments of our wedding day. I’ll definitely be reaching out to Kristina for photo shoots in the future.

Jaycee Beauty 

5.0

Long Beach, CA
  • Beauty professional
  • Team of 4
  • Starts at $150

I have been a professional freelance makeup artist for 4 years now. I also worked at Sephora for 2 years as a makeup artist, and earned my Esthetician license before that in 2017. I have always been an artist at heart but did not touch makeup until I was 18 years old! But thankfully my love and talent for art and painting easily transferred over to makeup artistry, and I'm very thankful that I can encourage my creativity while making people feel beautiful on their important days of life.

When another makeup artist cancelled on us last minute, I freaked out!! But my wedding planner recommended Jaycee and she was an absolute gem. Got her booked so quickly, so nice to talk to, and answered all my questions quickly. She even called me same day for us to discuss everything. She turned a really stressful situation into the least of my problems! Her makeup and hairstyling she did was absolutely perfect and I felt so beautiful on my wedding day. She recommended slight adjustments in the makeup I originally wanted, and at first I wasn’t sure about, but they really made my natural features pop more.

My husband and I love our wedding venue, The Sanctuary. We were lost when we first started wedding planning because we had no direction. After attending an open house at The Sanctuary, we met Mason who helped us build a package for our big day. We picked out every detail and made our vision come to life. They also connected us to their vendors who were a pleasure to work with. Lastly, the venue itself is beautiful. The cathedral and courtyard were perfect for our photos. The dining hall was just as beautiful and charming. Our guests kept complimenting how elegant everything was. I highly recommend booking this venue.

  • Photographer
  • Starts at $3,600

I live in Long Beach with my husband, and our beautiful dog-daughter Rita. If I'm not photographing my incredible clients, I'm watching any entertainment I can, from the latest HBO shows or movie releases. But, there's nothing better than drinking a beer and laughing at some quality reality television if you ask me! I also love reading while drinking coffee in the morning, but nothing tops hanging with my friends and family, enjoying some drinks and sharing some laughs.

My Fiancé and I got the chance to work with Kathy for our engagement pictures at Disneyland! It was extremely hot that day and super crowded, but that never even phased her. I was so impressed with her ideas of capturing us together. She has so much patience to take the time to capture the shot just right before we went on to the next site. We received our pictures in a week and we love them all, it’s extremely hard to just pick one as our favorite! Currently she offers custom albums what we can’t wait to order and have forever! We loved working with Kathy and can’t wait to see her at our wedding!

Hi you guys, my name's Natalie, & I'm so glad you're here! I’m a joy-filled, Southern California surfer girl who is in love with capturing weddings.  My style? It’s timeless, romantic, adventuresome, & personal. I’m dedicated to capturing fine elegance + raw beauty all the while keeping it real + being authentic. Your job is to be in love & live in that excitement with each other. My job is to make it easy + enjoyable for you two to be yourselves, 100%, as I frame and capture those once-in-a-lifetime moments in a way that only my mind can. Congratulations to you both! Looking forward to getting to know each other! xx Natalie

Natalie is the most professional, genuine, and talented wedding photographer. I promise you that you cannot and simply will not find a lovelier, more generous, or more brilliant person to help you sidestep stress and make the wedding planning process and wedding day a joy. At our wedding, three different people asked me if I'd later share her contact information with them for whenever they got married. Just think about that for a moment: three people were so blown away by Natalie's warmth, energy, and beautiful, bubbly personality that they would hire her on the spot without having yet seen her stunning work and even though they weren't engaged. Natalie's smile brightens up an entire room, and she has a truly remarkable way of making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable. She'll make you laugh, she'll keep your energy up, she'll capture the moments you dreamed would one day hang on your walls, and most of all, she will make you feel like your day, your marriage, and your love are the center of the entire world. This gift of her presence and love is extraordinary, and I promise you that it extends beyond anything you could ever hope or expect to receive from any wedding vendor. I cried when she sent us our photos because they are so profoundly beautiful and so full of the true emotion that she naturally drew from even the most reserved of our family members. Every photo was so natural and full of light and joy. Natalie has so much talent, and if you're one of her brides you'll quickly realize how lucky you are to have someone care so deeply about you and about capturing your special day. Before our wedding, Natalie spoke with me over email and on the phone, sent a thoughtful questionnaire to help us articulate our aesthetic and photography hopes, sent a quick engagement gift, and even checked in over text to make sure I was doing well the week before the wedding. After the wedding, she sent cute thank you gifts and GORGEOUS photos (you will love yours too!). But my favorite memory will always be from our wedding day when she took a moment to dance with my shy 5 year old nephew and draw him out of his shell so he could enjoy the party. The huge smile on his face will always be one of my most precious moments of our wedding day. My nephew, like so many of our guests, still ask about Natalie all the time. It was a pleasure to work with Natalie and to get to know her, and I hope you too will be fortunate to experience Natalie's light, love, and unparalleled talent.

From natural & subtle to ultra glam, even hair coloring and brow waxing, we can do it all!

it’s been almost a year since my wedding and I still look at photos of this day and admire Campbell’s work every time I walk past our hanging prints. Covid changed my original wedding plans and so when our back up backyard wedding was thrown together in 2 months, make up was the #1 thing I was anxious in finding someone to do. I saw a friends make up for her courthouse wedding and asked her for the contact - who ended up being Campbell! and let me tell you, she absolutely KILLED IT!! Because of the rush, I did not have a chance to do a trial. My first time meeting her was the morning of my wedding - she came with any and everything I could have wanted to create looks from scratch and of course, knocked it out of the park for myself and my bridal party plus she was so accommodating on cost, you’d be missing out to pass up on her! excellent communication all the way up to the day and through the day, she made sure to stay on site after first looks to make sure I was pretty again for the ceremony, and was able to create various looks from dark and moody to natural and bridal - all in a matter of hours. She truly is the best of the best! Thank you so much Campbell!!

Story Driven Wedding Films That Make You Feel. Photographs capture single moments in time, but they don’t tell the full story. As a videographer, my job is to help tell your love story by piecing together all the sounds and movements of your special day. It is only through video that you will be able to hear your partner’s vows or watch the magic of your first dance. Your wedding film is guaranteed to bring smiles, laughter, and tears as you hear and watch everyone’s joy. The rest of your love story is yours to tell. But if I do my job correctly, you will want to revisit this chapter over and over for years to come.

We were so grateful to have had Julio capture our entire wedding weekend, resulting in over 5 hours of footage (which he have watched all the way through!). Julio and Isela were a great team and were open to spending the weekend with a bunch of people they didn't know AND to adventuring through Yosemite for even more footage. We couldn't have chosen a better team to document this special occasion, thank you!

We had the honor of working with Marla for our wedding in July 2024 and we cannot say enough AMAZING things about working with her to make our wedding dreams come true. Hotel Maya was the first venue to respond to our inquiry when we first reached out to venues. When we had our initial site visit, Marla was so thorough with her questions to ensure that the spaces we looked at fit our budget or vision. She advised that the hotel is pet friendly, which we loved since we wanted a venue where our dog could be part of the wedding ceremony. We fell in love with the spaces (Jardin de Palmeras and Miramar Ballroom) and loved that they beautifully showcased Long Beach. To that, Hotel Maya offers wedding packages that include ceremony & reception spaces, wedding cake, day-of coordinator, day-of get ready room, hotel room the night of the wedding, catering, cake cutting knife & server, tables, chairs, utensils, tablecloths, and so much more! We didn’t have to look any further and booked Hotel Maya right away! During the wedding planning process, Marla continued to be the absolute best to work with. I came with a ton of questions, and she always responded quickly and never made we feel like I was a bother. If there was something outside of catering that we need assistance with, she would gladly point us in the right direction or generously help us herself. She gained our trust very quickly through her above & beyond customer service, kindness, and sweet personality. Marla’s work is truly magic. On our wedding weekend, Marla made herself available for any last-minute preparations we needed her help with. On the wedding day, she was there when we needed her, and she was working behind the scenes to ensure our wedding day went smoothly. She made sure to touch base with us once in a while to make sure we were doing all right and just be excited with us. At this point, she’s been such an integral part of our big day, we were definitely sharing our joy with her. Also, we are happy to say that our dog was included in our big day. It’s so sweet to know that he was there with us as well. The hospitality staff at Hotel Maya were kind an attentive, starting with my bridal party in the get ready room and all the way through dinner service by checking if my husband and I needed anything. We also heard a consistent compliment about our bartender from our guests: he was quick! They said even when the line was long, he whipped up drinks in a flurry. Even my father was really impressed! We are so glad our guests were taken care of by all the hotel staff. Thank you, Marla and the Hotel Maya staff, for everything. We are beyond grateful. You’ve made wedding planning less stressful and made our wedding dreams truly come true. Hotel Maya will ALWAYS have a special place in our hearts. Whenever we go eat at Fuego, the hotel restaurant, we will be sure to visit our ceremony space to lovingly reminisce and pay a visit to Marla. We recommend any couple to consider Hotel Maya for their wedding venue as we had such a wonderful experience working with them.

Skylinks At Long Beach was the perfect venue for our couples' wedding celebrations. Their communication throughout the planning process was very good and swift, making our job much easier. The beautiful golf course setting provided stunning backdrops for outdoor ceremonies, and the elegant indoor space was ideal for their receptions. We were always impressed by the quality of the Skylinks team's work and attention to detail. The gorgeous natural surroundings and their professional, experienced staff made our couples' day unforgettable.

Lark & Lavender

Long Beach, CA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000

I love colorful, full of fun, romantic, true-to-you weddings! A little about me, Ariel! I can't live without love, beautiful in-season flowers all over my house and adventure. I've been lucky enough to photograph weddings for the past 10 years; over 200 weddings!

Ariel shot my husband and I's Long Beach art district engagement session and our Joshua Tree anniversary shoot. I wasn't lucky enough to have Ariel photograph my actual wedding, but hopefully, you will be able to swoop her up because she is a gem! The testament to a great wedding photographer isn't just that they capture beautiful photos, but that they communicate and listen to you as a couple and make you feel at ease. Ariel is incredibly professional and makes sure she understands what you want out of your images, while also bringing her expertise and experience to capture those special moments that will bring you joy. You are in safe hands with Ariel if you're not comfortable in front of the camera or are afraid of looking awkward because she takes the time to help bring out that natural smile and loosen you up. I know this because I'm a self-proclaimed adorkable person who can get super awkward in front of a camera, and Ariel has a way of gently suggesting a better angle/shot or inspiring a more natural smile. She doesn't just click a button but is looking at the photo she is capturing to ensure she is snapping a beautiful image. Ariel also doesn't heavily treat her images with dramatic filters. She just brings out the beautiful colors and light of the day. If you want simply beautiful images, Lark & Lavender is the way to go! When you hire Lark & Lavender, you're not just hiring a wedding photographer but a creative artist who has a vision for capturing every beautiful and memorable moment of your day, plus she just makes you instantly feel relaxed and at ease which is essential on what can sometimes be a very stressful day.

I couldn’t rave more about how incredible it was to work with Melissa and the gorgeous florals she did for our wedding. She is so kind and very easy to talk to. She asked lots of questions to fully understand my vision, even when I didn’t quite have the words for it. She was extremely understanding when my plans changed entirely and was able to pivot seamlessly. And the flowers!! My god!!! She personally brought my bouquet to my bridal suite the morning of the wedding and it literally brought me to tears. It was more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. Then, when I saw the venue, I was truly floored with what she created. She is a master of florals, a true artist. I couldn’t recommend her highly enough!!!!!

Sweet Fuss Hair & Makeup Artistry believes that everyone deserves to be fussed over. The goal is provide superior client services to make you even more beautiful and your day even sweeter. Sweet Fuss founder, Alpha, is devoted to creating stunning looks for her clients. As an expert in her craft, she will customize your hair and makeup to create a look that is perfectly suited for YOU!

Alpha was referred to me by my hairstylist for our 08/10/24 vineyard wedding in Temecula, CA. I wanted someone who was familiar with skin of color and a small business owner. After looking at her portfolio and speaking with other satisfied clients, I booked her services. She was extremely professional and personable from start to finish. Her quote was very transparent and included a pre wedding bridal trial as well as her travel fees (which were very fair). Due to this being a destination wedding I had to travel to OC for my trial and missed my initial flight. Alpha was very understanding and helped me reschedule with ease. On the day of the trial, Alpha was personable and took her time to achieve my desired look. She was so patient, she didn't loose her cool when I had her change my lip color 3 times before deciding on my final look! On the day of the wedding everything went smoothly; Alpha was punctual and prepared-she requested pictures of my entire wedding party with their makeup inspirations several months in advance. She had perfect foundation matches for everyone in the wedding party, nailed everyone's makeup look and was extremely flexible when one of my bridesmaids was late for her makeup time. Last minute I even added blush and lipstick for my Jr bridesmaids and flower girls (ages 4,7, 9 and 9) which Alpha was able to accommodate. For the adult bridesmaids/bride she provided a blotting tissue and lipstick for touchups throughout the day. Despite the day being 90 degrees, lots of eating/drinking and dancing (read sweat and lots of it), not a single person's makeup smeared. Everyone loved their looks and their confidence shown in our wedding pictures. As for me, I felt and looked amazing; she made my bridal dreams come true! Don't walk, RUN to book Alpha and Sweet Fuss! I 100% recommend her!
